Tularemia is primarily a disease of wild animals that is transmitted to humans by a contaminated environment or ectoparasites.rancisella tularensis is the etiologic agent of tularemia and, with rare exception, the only disease produced by this genus. The organism is a small, Gram-negative, pleomorphic, nonmotile, nonspore-forming coccobacillus measuring 0.2 x 0.2 to 0.7 mm.
Tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis.
